Current work in this area centers on development of new devices that can interact with the nervous system, on new mathematical or software techniques that enable or facilitate this interaction, and on achieving a refined understanding of the physiological basis of normal and abnormal function. This work is making great strides toward the design and implementation of a new generation of devices that can: 1) restore or augment sensory function (e.g., cochlear or retinal implants) or motor function (e.g., brain-computer interfaces for people with severe paralysis or neurorehabilitation for people with stroke); 2) diagnose normal or abnormal brain function (e.g., real-time functional brain mapping); or 3) cure or alleviate symptoms of disease (e.g., deep brain stimulation to treat tremor in patients with Parkinson's disease). This two-day workshop highlights scientific, engineering, and clinical aspects of this exciting new area. It is presented by leading experts from the United States of America, Germany, and Italy, and features theoretical lectures as well as practical tutorials with brain-computer interfaces that allow people to control devices using brain signals. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together experts in this emerging field, and to communicate the exciting prospects of this area.

Important structures such as the complex of SS. Marcellino e Festo, thanks to significant restoration works, have been recovered to their former glory. The Church of the Monastery of Saints Marcellino and Festo is the most valuable part of the great convent, awarded in 1907 at the University of Naples and now completely restored. Today, the structure consists of a hall with 160 seats. Location: largo S. Marcellino, 10 Naples HOTEL Costantinopoli 104 Via Santa Maria di Costantinopoli, 104 The Sansevero Chapel Museum in the historic heart of Naples is a jewel of the world's artistic heritage. Here, baroque creativity, dynastic pride, beauty and mystery blend to create a unique and almost timeless atmosphere. Santa Chiara Complex Set in the historical centre of Naples, near via Santa Chiara, in the area of Piazza del Gesu' and close to San Domenico Maggiore, the Complex is inside the Franciscan citadel and includes the Museum, the Archaelogical Area, the Majolica-tiled Cloister, and the collection of Nativity Scenes (also known as Christmas Cribs) from the 1700s. Naples Underground Forty meters below the characteristic and lively streets of the Historic Center of Naples, you find a different world, unexplored, isolated by time, but deeply connected with the world above. It's the heart of Naples, and the place from which the city was born. To visit it is to travel to the past, a world 2400 years old. Walking distance to the Congress Venue (900mt) San Gregorio Armeno Hotel Piazza Bellini Via Santa Maria di Costantinopoli 101 Walking distance to the Congress Venue (900mt) Via San Gregorio Armeno is the famous street of the artisans of the nativity scene, famous throughout the world for its numerous craft dedicated to the art nativity. The street and shops can be visited throughout the year and so the visitor is led back each time to the magical Christmas atmosphere.
